Cargo ship sinks near Strait of Hormuz
Reports have circulated about the sinking of the bulk cargo ship "Cape Dowe," which flies the flag of Antigua and Barbuda, near the Strait of Hormuz after being struck by a projectile on September 23, according to data from the International Maritime Organization. This incident is part of a series of escalating maritime security incidents in the region, which have included targeting other oil tankers and injuries from projectiles in nearby areas, amid heightened U.S. Navy efforts to blockade Iranian ports to prevent illegal shipments. Another oil tanker was also hit, and explosions were reported, described as resulting from a sea mine strike, with ship captains advised to exercise increased caution and to leave anchorage areas. Similarly, American data shows that since July 14, the maritime blockade has disrupted four ships and destroyed ten oil tankers affiliated with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, with at least eleven attacks recorded in the strait over the past week.
